Meshuggah: “Do Not Look Down” from Koloss (Nuclear Blast, 3/27/12)
On an album that deftly combines mathematical rhythms with groove and feel, “Do Not Look Down” is one of the best, creating makeshift polyrhythms out of the interplay between guitar and drums. A hot-blooded rock solo plus an octave-shifting effects pedal push it to rare territory.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
